Phillip Melanchthon in his Apologie, cap. De votis Monast. testifieth of one John Hilton a Monk in Thuring, who, for speaking against certain abuses of the place and order where he lived, was cast in prison, At length being weak and feeble through imprisonment, he sent for the Warden of the Convent, desiring and beseeching him, to have some respect of his woeful state, & pitiful case. The Warden rebuking and accusing him for that he had done & spoken: He answered again and said that he had spoken nothing ⟨p. 842⟩which might be prejudicial or hurtful to their monkery, or against their Religion: 1But there should come one (and assigned the year, an. 1516.) Who should utterly subvert all monkery. and they should never be able to resist him &c.
